We believe that the basic principles of dramatic structure are as fundamentally sound today as when they were invented by Aristotle and the ancient Greek playwrights more than two millennia ago. Symbolic of these beliefs, we chose the name Agamemnon and his Mycenae Mask as our logo. Agamemnon was the King of Mycenae who launched the thousand ships to rescue Helen of Troy, and is also the title of one of the world's oldest plays, by Aeschylus. A good story well told. This is the very essence of our mission. For twenty years these principles, emphasizing story, structure and character over action or special effects, have enabled us to create cost-effective entertainment of lasting quality which appeals to a broad audience and, we trust, will endure the test of time. We think this is good art as well as good business. We do not follow trends. We believe that the emerging digital media are visions of a much brighter and more exciting future in the entertainment industry, combining interactive events, digital cinema & distribution, CD-ROM, direct marketing, film-on-demand direct to your PC and, of course, the Internet. We also believe that it is important to be on the cutting edge of technology, but not to get ahead of the blade. It's the message, not the medium, and as usual, Shakespeare said it best: "The play's the thing!" -- Fraser C. Heston President & CEO
